Corners...and H20?

I've had my clears for over 8 months now....and just last week or so i noticed condensation on the inner part of the lamp. I checked it out and found no cracks. The 'weather strip' is fine. Any suggestions?

it was probably very humid when you intalled them. and once the bulb is in...it's practially airtight taking into consideration there's no cracks and the weather seal are ok (like you said.) once it gets cold enough the humid air trapped inside the housing condenses. Air them out on a dry day and reinstall...see if that helps.

In all fairness, this has been an ongoing issue with clear corners for some time. My thought is that their "shelf life" is somewhere in the 1 year range, which is why they're so cheap across the board. I had the same problem with the pair I bought over a year ago. Because it's cold as f@$%^ here, I haven't had much time go get in there and reseal everything, but I intend to. This is something that you might want to explore (even though you said the weatherstripping is ok).

Your lcuky my clears only lasted 3 weeks before they started to seperate. The truth is in my opinion most aftermarket are made cheaply. Just from my experience
